How to Talk to Your Teen
about Sexuality: Tips for
Parents:

Let our kids know that we're
available, and make it a habit
to share what we think and feel.

Admit when we don't know an
answer. We can let our kids
help us find the answer in a book
or other resource.

Respect our teenagers' privacy as
much as we value our own. Do not
pry.
